Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master
She got involved with the most noble man in Darlsbury in an accident. She was forced to leave and go far away after giving birth to a child. Three years later, she encountered the man again by accident. She desperately hid from him, avoided him and stayed far away from him! Who would have known that he would bring the baby to her doorstep? "Woman, why are you still running when you've already given birth to my child?" He was renowned as the king of the business empire. She originally thought that it would be impossible for the both of them to be together. She did not want to become the person that he doted on the most. He doted on her, loved her and cared for her every day! After that, he said in an affectionate voice, "Mrs. Burton, please think about your second pregnancy."Chapter 1 Chapter 1
“Harder!”“Ahh!” A baby came crying into the world accompanied by the sound of Xavia’s painful cry. The doctors exclaimed excitedly, “You just gave birth to a boy!”“He looks just like Young Master Burton. He’s so handsome!” Xavia’s whole body was limp as she laid on the bed. Her face was pale as she looked at the child. He was the size of a kitten with fair skin and a loud cry. He had inherited Zivon’s godly and beautiful appearance indeed. She had a smile on her face as she reached out her hand as she wanted to hug the child. But… “Sister, thank you for helping me to give birth to this baby. I’ll take the child away now.” A beautiful woman suddenly took the baby away one step ahead of Xavia as she laid down on the portable bed on the side. Her face looked exactly as Xavia’s face under the light! They were twins! Before Xavia even had the time to touch the baby’s face, she watched as her elder sister carried the baby away. Xavia felt as though there was a knife stabbing her directly in her heart as she listened to the baby’s cries. “Sister, I…I want to keep the baby…”“What?!” Jenna was stunned as though she had heard an urban legend. It took her three full seconds before she looked at Xavia with an incredulous expression on her face. “Xavia, do you know what you’re talking about?”“You’re only nineteen years old and you are still single. How are you going to explain the origin of your baby to everyone? Do you want everyone to know that you had a one-night stand with Zivon Burton? Do you want to disappoint our parents, and for our whole family to be embarrassed because of you? Or do you want your child to become an illegitimate child scorned by everyone?” Xavia’s small face turned pale after being questioned with a series of rhetorical questions. She grew up in the countryside ever since she was young and she was only brought back last year. As a result, she accidentally had a sexual encounter with Zivon and she even got pregnant! He did not know of her existence and he thought that she was her elder sister. She did not dare to say anything either. So, in the last nine months, it was her elder sister who was ‘pregnant’, and it was also her elder sister who was giving birth to Zivon’s child! If this was revealed now, then everyone would definitely cast her aside and then… The light in Xavia’s eyes got dimmer and dimmer. Jenna placed her hand on Xavia’s shoulder as she comforted, “My dear sister, your baby will be the rightful prince of the Burton family if he stays with me. I will treat this baby as if he were my own biological child and I will raise him together with Zivon. You can just return to the countryside with a peace of mind and never come back here. I’m doing this for both you and the baby’s sake. Be good now.” After she was done speaking, Jenna then glanced at the doctors. The doctor took out a syringe. Xavia looked at her sister in surprise. “Sister, what is this?” Jenna said, “Don’t be afraid. It’s an anaesthetic to relieve the pain. You can just rest well and have a good sleep. Everything will be over soon.” As soon as she said that, the doctors then injected the drugs into Xavia’s body. Xavia’s body was weak and she gradually lost consciousness. The doctors then pushed her behind the curtain. Jenna and the baby were then pushed outside… An extremely tall, cold and handsome man had arrived just in time outside the delivery room. He was wearing a suit and leather shoes, his facial features were very impressive and solid, and he had long and slender legs. His shirt was buttoned up all the way to the very top and this revealed the man’s strong sense of maturity and asceticism. He was Zivon Burton. He was the youngest chairman who had long occupied the list of Forbes’s richest men, the list of the world’s most masculine men, and whom all the women in the entire world had gone crazy over! Jenna’s eyes instantly lit up as soon as she saw him. “Zivon, you’re here.” She suddenly thought of something and then she touched the baby in her arms and said ‘weakly’, “This is our baby. I…It was so painful just now and I almost died from the pain. But Zivon, I feel so happy to be able to give birth to your baby.”“Zivon, don’t dismiss the marriage contract with me for the sake of our child, okay?” One year ago, Zivon insisted on dismissing the marriage contract and he was only emotionally moved because of the accidental sexual intercourse between Xavia, who came from the countryside, and Zivon himself. He thought that Xavia was Jenna. Now, the baby was her only chance of ever becoming Mrs. Burton. Zivon’s conceited gaze fell on the baby as he thought of how he had been set up when he was carrying out a mission that night. How he had been so rough and cruel when he took her by force. He curled his thin lips upwards. “Okay. We will get the certificate tomorrow.”
Chapter 2 Chapter 2
Three years later. S City. “Xavia, the guest from Siena International has called to rush us again. You still haven’t delivered the takeout yet?” Xavia’s best friend urged her over the phone. Xavia walked through the intricate and complicated single-family villa area with the takeout in her hand. After looking for a while, she finally saw No. 99. “I’ve reached the place. I just found it.”“That’s great. The guest’s voice sounded very cold over the phone. People living there are all extremely wealthy, and he should be a powerful figure that you cannot afford to offend. You have to be very careful when dealing with him.”“Mm. Okay.” Xavia hung up the phone. She stood in front of the door as she rang the doorbell. She decided that she would get off work and go home after delivering this order. But when the luxurious electronic door was opened, Xavia was instantly stunned on the spot. This was because the man standing inside the door was extremely gorgeous and handsome. His handsome and extremely cold face was still etched deeply in her memory! He, he, he…wasn’t just anyone else. He was Zivon Burton, the man who had gotten involved with her that one night many years ago! He actually came to S City! What should she do? After leaving that year, she originally thought that she would never have to see him again. However, she actually encountered him now! How should she face him?! At the same time, Zivon’s deep eyes also fell on Xavia as he knitted his brows together. The woman in front of him was wearing a knee-length black dress that was similar to a uniform. She had a white lace apron over the dress and she had an extremely good figure. He had never seen her dressed like this before in the ten years that he had known her. “You’ve changed your style, huh?” Ahh? Style? What style? Xavia was surprised and puzzled. However, very soon, she quickly thought of what her elder sister had once mentioned that Xavia should pretend not to recognize Zivon even if she were to ever meet him. So, Xavia tried to calm down as she lowered her head. “Sir, your takeout is ninety six dollars. Please pay for it.” As she spoke, she handed the takeout over to him. She wanted to settle the bill as soon as possible so she could hurry up and leave. However, the man looked at her with great interest and he did not have any intentions of taking the takeout from her hand. She raised her small hands back and forth and she could not manage to put the takeout into his hands even after a long time. As she was raising the takeout back and forth, it seemed as though she was flirting with him. Zivon only felt that there was a current flowing from her small hands into his bloodstream. His eyes darkened as he grabbed hold of her wrist and pulled her into his arms. “Role playing? This is a pretty good scene. I like it.” Boom! Xavia was completely caught off guard and she fell directly into his embrace. Her small face was instantly flushed red! Role playing? How could he hug her?! Panicking, she raised her hands to reject his advances. “Sir, I don’t know what you are talking about. Let…let go…” As the woman continued struggling hard, he could smell the nice fragrance of her body. Zivon’s originally dark eyes became even darker. All these years, aside from that one night, he had always been very clear-headed. But now, she had only just changed her dressing style and this actually had the effect of making it difficult for him to restrain his own emotions? “Don’t move,” he reminded her flatly. If she continued moving, he would not be able to guarantee whether something else would happen. But how could Xavia possibly not move? She did not want anything to do with him. Besides that, what would it mean if he was hugging her?! She opened her mouth and bit him straight away. She used slight force but she was nothing more than a kitten to this man. She was undoubtedly adding fuel to the flames! There was finally a breakthrough in Zivon’s only remaining sense of reason and endurance. He raised his hand and clasped the back of her head. “Jenna, you succeeded tonight.” Boom! Jenna! It turned out that he had once again mistook her for her elder sister! No wonder… But success? What success? “Mm!” Before Xavia could even react, the man’s lips covered her own with unstoppable ferocity and strength as he took her in completely. Xavia opened her eyes wide in shock. Was he insane?! He was actually kissing her?! No, he was kissing her ‘elder sister’. Xavia felt very uncomfortable and wronged. It had already been a nightmare for her when he had treated her like her elder sister that night four years ago. Were they going to repeat the same mistake again now?
Chapter 3 Chapter 3
Ding dong Just As Xavia was at her wits’ end, the doorbell suddenly rang, followed by a gentle female voice outside the door. “Zivon, open the door. I’m carrying something in my hands.” This was her elder sister’s voice! Xavia’s body trembled uncontrollably. As she was already nervous beforehand, the emotion intensified. She didn't even know how she gained the strength to push Zivon away. She was done for! Her elder sister was here! What should she do? Naturally, Zivon also heard the voice outside the door. He frowned as he looked at the woman who looked extremely pale in front of him. He raised his hand to open the doorbell video and his pupils dilated when he then saw a woman who looked identical to Xavia standing outside. What was going on? Why was there another Jenna outside when there was already a ‘Jenna’ in his arms? The atmosphere suddenly became very stiff. Xavia was as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof and she could not be bothered about Zivon as he took her in with his gaze. Her elder sister did not allow her to appear in front of him back then. What would she think if she were to see Xavia with her red lips and messy clothes at this time?! She panicked as she said, “Sir, please help me!” Zivon: “…” So, she was not Jenna? The expression on his handsome face sank abruptly as he asked coldly, “Who are you?” Xavia clenched her fists. She was Jenna’s younger sister. But would she be exposing anything if she were to reveal her identity? “Ding dong! Ding dong~” “Zivon, are you there?” The urging voice sounded again outside before Xavia could even think of how she should answer his question. Zivon stared at Xavia, who seemed to be in a predicament. His eyes were as dark as a whirlpool as many rational thoughts began surging his mind. For the moment, in order to prevent any unnecessary trouble, Zivon parted his lips coldly. “Go inside first. You’re not allowed to come out without my order.” His voice was as cold as ice and it was completely different compared to the previous warmth in his tone. Moreover, it was also very commanding. “Okay.” Xavia nodded and she hurriedly ran into the living room inside like a wisp of smoke before hiding behind the curtains. Her speed was even faster compared to a rabbit. Zivon waited for Xavia to hide before he looked away and raised his hand elegantly to pull the room door open. Jenna was holding a pile of food outside the door. She quickly smiled when she saw Zivon. “Zivon, you’re here? I thought you weren’t home because you didn’t open the door after so long.” She was very gentle and she was smiling, just like a virtuous wife. Zivon looked at the woman who looked exactly like the woman just now. He was extremely cautious and discreet. However, he did not have too much emotion as he asked conceitedly, “Aren’t you very busy with work? Why did you come over?” The expression on Jenna’s face changed slightly. His grandfather suddenly passed away back then and they failed to obtain their marriage certificate. After that, he had never mentioned it again and he had always been very indifferent towards her. Now, she had deliberately applied for a job transfer because of him as she was thinking of spending more time with him. She thought that he would be happy to see her, but… She tried to keep the smile on her face. “I was worried about you. You would always find it very difficult to get accustomed to a new place and you can’t get used to eating different food. So, I’ve put aside some time to come over and prepare meals for you.” Zivon reached for the takeout and pursed his lips slightly. “Don’t bother doing that in future. Maison and I are used to eating takeout.” His tone was very cold, conceited and not gentle at all. This man! Her elder sister actually went through the trouble to cook for him but he was actually being so arrogant towards her? Xavia could not help but criticize in her heart. Jenna also did not expect that Zivon would reject her enthusiasm directly. She felt a little bitter and dejected. Just as she was about to say something, Jenna suddenly saw a strand of a woman’s hair on Zivon’s chest, as shown by the white shirt he was wearing. She exclaimed in surprise, “Ehh? Zivon, why is there a strand of a woman’s hair on your body?” Hair! Damn it! Her hair must have accidentally fallen on Zivon’s shirt when she was struggling earlier! What should she do? If her elder sister were to find her hiding here, then Xavia wouldn’t be able to clear her own name! Xavia anxiously held her breath. On the contrary, Zivon simply glanced at the strand of hair before replying in a cold and conceited voice, “The woman who delivered the takeout just now must have dropped it.” This sentence seemed to mean nothing to him at all. It sounded very calm and natural and there was not even a trace of emotion in this sentence at all. But why would the woman who delivered the takeout enter the premises? Moreover, Zivon did not open the door for a long time just now. Could it be that there was a woman who came here to seduce him? Jenna was filled with doubt and suspicion but she tried her best to maintain her elegance. “Oh, in that case you can eat first, Zivon. I’ll clean up your room for you.” After saying that, Jenna did not wait for Zivon to refuse before she took the initiative to put the food down and began tidying the place up. First, she walked to the cabinet, opened and dusted it before she walked toward the sofa. While she bent over to organize the cushions, she looked below the sofa. Her actions made it seem as though she was tidying up, but in reality, it looked like she was looking for something! Xavia felt as though she was about to stop breathing when she watched her elder sister’s every move from behind the curtains. Her elder sister was obviously suspicious. What was she looking for?! And how big was this living room? She would certainly find Xavia very soon! Sure enough, before two minutes had even passed, Jenna’s eyes fell on the curtains over here! Jenna began approaching the curtains slowly. Xavia instantly clenched her fists tightly, her palms already coated with sweat. She was done for... She was going to be discovered…
Chapter 4 Chapter 4
Zivon was still sitting on the sofa with a noble posture and he continued tapping the edge of the armrest with his slender fingertips, and he looked extremely elegant and noble during such a critical moment. It was as though all of this had nothing to do with him! This cold and indifferent man. Save her! The sound of Jenna’s high heels stopped in front of the curtain. Xavia was about to cry! She closed her eyes tightly and she was still making up excuses in her mind as she prepared for her death… But at this moment, the man on the sofa finally spoke up. “Jenna, there is no more red wine at home. Go out and buy a bottle for me.” Jenna stopped abruptly. Although she wasn’t close with him, she had spent quite some time together with him and she knew about his fussy and picky personality. How could he possibly drink red wine bought in such a small place? But she has never refused anything that he said before. “Okay.” After saying that, Jenna immediately left the villa. However, before she walked out of the door, she looked at the feet poking out of the curtains and the expression on her face changed in an instant. Did he really think that she was blind? How could she not notice such an obvious pair of feet? She really wanted to see what kind of woman would actually dare to try and seduce her fiancé! What kind of woman was precious enough to make the noble and righteous Zivon cheat on her? … Silence returned to the villa after the sound of footsteps got further and further away. Xavia’s suspended heart finally fell back into place. That was really close. Jenna nearly discovered her just now. Fortunately… However, the fact that Zivon had helped her out in that situation when she was secretly hiding made it seemed as though they really had a shameful relationship. So she walked out with a blush. “Thank you for just now. I’ll leave first…”“Leave?” Zivon snorted coldly as he locked his sharp gaze on her. “Why do you look like Jenna?” His voice was very cold as he questioned her and it seemed like he was interrogating a prisoner. It meant that she would not be able to leave without giving him a clear explanation. Xavia’s footsteps came to an abrupt stop. Xavia and Jenna were twins, so it was no wonder they looked exactly the same. Even the both of them were surprised when they met for the first time. But what should she say in order to not let the cat out of the bag? Her hesitation made Zivon’s originally cold face seem even colder. He stood up as he walked over to her in a conceited manner. He stared down at her as he spoke in an unusually cold voice, “Plastic surgery? Were you thinking that you could be a substitute for Jenna? Seduction?” Each word that Zivon spoke carried a hint of sarcasm. Xavia frowned. What? Plastic surgery? Seduction? Her entire body including her eyelashes were all original. How could it possibly look like plastic surgery?! Xavia thought that Zivon’s whole family looked like they were the ones who had plastic surgery instead! She spoke up, “Sir, you were the one taking advantage of me first, okay?!”“I just came here to deliver the takeout that you ordered just now. You hugged me, talked about role playing and you even kissed me! You were obviously harassing me! I can sue you for it!” Xavia was still blushing and she felt a little ashamed as she spoke of their previous interaction. Zivon has never been scolded before. Even the president himself had to be courteous towards him. Now, this girl was actually saying that she wanted to sue him for sexual harassment? He narrowed his long and black eyes coldly. “Huh? Go ahead and sue me. Let’s see whether the police will think that I was harassing you or whether they are going to convict you for deliberately trying to approach me illegally with my fiancée’s face. Let’s wait and see then.” His beautiful and attractive voice was thick with danger. He was a powerful figure and she was nothing more than a poor civilian. So, it was already obvious who would win and who would lose, and who the outsiders would think was the one trying to approach the other! The thing was, she didn’t approach him deliberately! Xavia felt very wronged and angry. It was bad enough that he refused to apologize for hugging and kissing her just now, but he was now charging her with something so unreasonable? Did he really think that she was so weak and he could suppress her just because she was not fighting back or showing her power? Xavia looked at her with her unusually clear and bright dark eyes as she said, “Sir, have you never heard of twins before? My name is Xavia Lockhart and I’m the twin sister of Jenna! I only met you by accident and the reason why I was hiding is because it is not convenient for me to show up in front of my elder sister for certain reasons. I was afraid that my elder sister would misunderstand me. You can investigate and look into this matter if you don’t believe me.” Her voice was loud and clear. Zivon knitted his brows together. Twins? He really did not think of this possibility at all. When did Jenna ever have a twin sister? “Also sir, I’ll never like or try to seduce a blind man like you who can’t even recognize his own wife! Never in this lifetime!” After saying those words, Xavia raised her chin before she turned around to walk away arrogantly. Zivon stared at the back of the woman who was leaving, and the expression on his handsome face quickly darkened. Blind? She would never like him? She made it sound like he was interested in her in the first place. But… When he thought of the kiss earlier, his lips suddenly twitched. Why did he have feelings for her? It felt like that satisfying night four years ago…
Chapter 5 Chapter 5
Outside the villa. Xavia walked out of the neighborhood in one go. The night breeze was cold and Xavia sniffed slightly. Although she had never once thought about the possibility of being with Zivon, she still felt uncomfortable because he had seriously misunderstood her and was even trying to use his power to suppress her. He was a narcissistic, arrogant and self-righteous man. How many innocent people would have to die if he was a detective? “Xavia Lockhart! It’s actually you!” A familiar voice suddenly sounded. Xavia raised her eyes and she saw Jenna coming out from behind the fountain! Jenna had a very elegant and beautiful temperament. She was also very arrogant and pampered. However, she looked slightly shocked with a hint of savagery at this moment. Her elder sister! “Sister, why are you here?!” Didn’t she go out to buy wine? The supermarket was not over this side. Slap! Jenna had already given Xavia a tight slap across her face before she could even react. Xavia fell down to the ground because she was completely caught off guard by the huge and unexpected force. A clear handprint immediately appeared on her small and fair face. Jenna stared at her angrily as she scolded, “Sister?! You still know how to address me as your sister? What did you promise me a few years ago? You actually came all the way here to seduce Zivon now?!”“Tell me, what did the both of you do inside the house just now? Were you intending to let him know that matter so that you can destroy my happiness so that you can get married to him instead?! Why are you so evil? How can you treat me like that? I’m your elder sister!” The string of sentences came out as emotional and stinging. Xavia’s cheek and elbows were hurting and she felt a little dizzy. She felt slightly wronged and angry on the inside as she stood up. “Sister, I only came over to deliver the takeout. I did not know that brother-in-law was the one who had placed the order. Brother-in-law was the one who mistook me for you and nothing happened between the both of us. The reason why I hid was because I was afraid that you would misunderstand me.”“If I really harbored any wrong intentions towards brother-in-law, then why would I possibly hide for three years?” Jenna’s face stiffened at the question. Indeed, in the past three years, Jenna had also been worried that Xavia would do something behind her back. As a result, Xavia had never once appeared before. So, this time should also be a coincidence. Xavia then said, “Besides that, I’ve already been hiding for three years because of you but you actually hit me because of him? I treat you like my elder sister but who do you view me as?” Jenna naturally treated Xavia as a pest and a thorn in her flesh! But Jenna naturally could not say this. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly. “Sister. Of course, I treat you like my younger sister. I misunderstood you just now. It’s just that your appearance can easily arouse Zivon’s suspicion. There will be irreparable consequences if there is just a little mistake and carelessness. I believe that you won’t want to be scolded by everyone and cause your elder sister grief, will you?”“So, can you leave first while Zivon is on his business trip in S City for three months?” Jenna was seemingly worried that Xavia would disagree to her request. So, she deliberately added, “Do this on the account that I have been paying for your grandmother’s medical bills all these years.” At the end of the day, her elder sister still cared too much about this man! Xavia smiled and said, “My grandmother is in the hospital now and I’ve also been living here for twenty two years now. So, I will never leave this place. However, you don’t have to worry because I will never appear in front of the blind man, nor will I get involved with him in any way!” Was a warm, caring man not nice enough? Was a handsome, young and gentle man not good? Or was she unhappy with being single? That type of blind man who was as cold as ice and was not even gentle at all in that kind of matter, was really not her cup of tea! “By the way, sister, the derailment of the train is not dependent on the track, nor is it related to the scenery outside. The problem lies with the train itself. There is no direct relationship between your happiness and whether I leave or not.” After Xavia was done speaking, she turned and left. Jenna froze in place and her face turned pale out of anger. That damn Xavia! How dare she use that tone to speak to her! Jenna was extremely furious when she thought about how Zivon actually lied to her because of Xavia tonight! She could not allow Xavia to stay! Jenna took out her cell phone before she called Cara. “Is this Xavia Lockhart’s foster mother?”“Hello, I’m her elder sister. I heard that you are struggling financially lately? Why don’t you do something for me and I will give you one hundred thousand dollars when it’s done?”“It’s not a big deal. It’s just that Xavia is also old enough now and it is time for her to get married. That guy, Pockmark Wilson in your country isn’t bad at all. Do you know what I mean?”
Chapter 6 Chapter 6
Xavia went home directly after delivering the takeout. She stood in front of the door before raising her hand to knock on the door. Very soon, a deliberately lowered voice sounded from inside… “Rooster, hen, chicken stew.” Another round of giving passwords again? Xavia smiled helplessly before replying, “Thank you my old friend for the double strike.”“Circle, steel ring, hula hoop.” Xavia: “The magic of love goes round and round.” Click! The door finally opened with the right answer. A little girl dressed in a white princess dress came running out as she hugged Xavia’s long legs. “Mommy, congratulations on getting all the answers right! You’ve won the qualification to come home!” The corners of Xavia’s mouth curled into a smile. She often worked the night shift. Yulia had always had a very strong awareness of safety. So, she would basically always ask for the password. Yulia was a very sensible and well-behaved girl. She was also Xavia’s biological daughter! Three years ago, after she left the hospital, Xavia then gave birth to another daughter in the car. It turned out that Xavia had been pregnant with fraternal twins! However, her elder sister had always been afraid that any information would get leaked out during the checkup and she had never allowed Xavia to get any checkup. So, this resulted in them not knowing this at all. After that, Xavia could not bear it and she begged the driver before she secretly kept Yulia. Xavia could never let her elder sister and that blind man find out about Yulia’s existence! “Yulia, you forgot to refer to mommy as Fairy Xavia again.”“Alright then, mommy. I got it.” Xavia: “…” Was there any way to save her daughter’s IQ? “By the way, mommy, grandma said that she wants to talk to you about something…” As soon as her voice fell, Cara, clad in a green nightgown, walked out of her room with a resounding creak. She had light beige curly hair, a face mask on her face and scarlet lips. Cara, who was originally born in the countryside, had the looks of a noble woman because of the adoption fee given to her by the Lockhart family. She threw a packet of homemade pickles onto the table and said, “Send this to Chairman Wilson at Blackfriars Dining at seven o’clock in the evening tomorrow.” Chairman Wilson weighed two hundred pounds and he had pockmarks all over his face. He had already indirectly killed five of his wives. Everyone in S City knew him as the fat, ugly, round and horny man. Xavia knitted her brows together as she instinctively refused to do so. “No, I rarely go over there.” The expression on Cara’s face instantly changed. “Chairman Wilson already spent money to buy my exclusive pickles and I’ve already received his money. What am I going to tell him if you refuse to go there? Besides, I was thinking of using this money to buy new clothes for Yulia since the season is changing. I’m not spending the money on myself.” Xavia really did not expect that Cara would actually buy new clothes for Yulia. So, Xavia did not turn Cara’s request down again on Yulia’s account. “Okay.” Anyway, she could just take some time off tomorrow to drop it off to him. Cara had a sinister look in her eyes as she watched Xavia returning to her room. This daughter that she had adopted had never been close to her. An adopted daughter would always be adopted. They could never be close at all. Xavia should just wait and see how Chairman Wilson would deal with her tomorrow. Let’s see how arrogant Xavia could be by then. But having said that, Xavia’s elder sister from the Lockhart family was really cruel. … The next day. Xavia sent Yulia to school and went to work as usual. When there were not many orders, Xavia took some time to head over to Blackfriars Dining. When she arrived at the allocated table, there was no one there at the table. Strange. Was he not here yet? Xavia sat down and she casually sipped from the glass of plain water on the table. After that, she took out her cellphone. She was about to make a phone call when Luke came running out. “Xavia, you’re here. Sorry, I went to use the washroom just now. Take a look at what you would like to eat. I’ll pay for it.” In fact, the consumption fee of having a meal at Blackfriars Dining was extremely expensive. Even a piece of tissue paper cost ninety nine dollars. Luke was actually not willing to spend the money but he pretended to be extremely generous and easygoing in order to give Xavia the good impression that he was very wealthy. Xavia smiled politely and she handed the item over to him. “Chairman Wilson, I won’t be eating anything. This is what my mother asked me to give to you. I still have to work so I’ll be leaving first.”“Ehh, what’s the hurry?” Luke grabbed her, looking warm and friendly. He said, “We did meet after all, which makes us friends. Look at you. You are so tired from delivering takeouts everyday and you make so little money from it too. Wouldn’t it be better for you to marry me? I’ll make sure that you can eat well every day.” As he spoke, Luke’s hand began wandering toward her body. His greasy face and the smell of tobacco and alcohol coming from his mouth were extremely disgusting. Xavia slapped his hand away and she stood up in a state of panic. “Chairman Wilson, I like to be self-sufficient. Please have some self-respect!” After saying that, Xavia got ready to leave. However, she suddenly felt very dizzy. Her body went limp and she fell back onto the sofa, completely caught off guard. “You…What did you put in the water?”
Chapter 7 Chapter 7
Luke grinned and he used his big hand to hold Xavia’s delicate hands. “Nothing much. I simply heard your foster mother saying that you like to drink plain water. So, I put a little something in it. Don’t worry, your mother had already promised to let you marry me. So, we will go and get our marriage certificate after tonight. I’ll dote on you and love you and your well-behaved daughter.” As soon as he finished speaking, Luke pulled Xavia into his arms. Deep down, Xavia was extremely shocked. It turned out that her foster mother asking her to deliver something was actually fake! Instead, her foster mother was selling her out! Xavia was still too simple-minded after all! She raised a hand to push Luke away, but ended up being too weak to do so. It was so soft as though it was completely boneless. It seemed like an embrace to outsiders! When Nathan had just stepped into the clubhouse and saw the two people in that position, he was extremely shocked. “Young master, that…isn’t that your future wife?” When Zivon heard this, he turned his precious line of sight over there to see two figures embracing under the beam of the light. The man was fat and ugly, and his face was greasy. The woman was young and beautiful, and her exquisite and good-looking face was incomparably familiar. He could instantly distinguish her identity from the special takeout clothes that she was wearing. Xavia Lockhart. The woman who scolded him for being blind last night! Was she actually being intimate with this old man here? When he saw her last night, she had a sharp tongue and she was so difficult to deal with. He originally thought that she was very arrogant and had a personality of her own. However, he really did not expect her to be this kind of woman. He felt a little irritated in the depths of his heart, so he parted his lips and said coldly, “She’s not Jenna. Don’t compare her to Jenna.” There was a deep hint of resentment in his tone. In his opinion, although he was not interested in Jenna, at the very least, she was highly cultured and educated. She was kind and she loved herself. She would never do such a thing. Nathan was confused. Who could it be if it was not Jenna? Why was the young master’s face so dark? Moreover, the young master had a special identity. Since there was someone who looked identical to the young master’s wife, then it would be inevitable for people with bad intentions to make use of this. So, for safety reasons, Nathan took out his cellphone and clicked on the advanced software to perform a quick search. After that, he was even more shocked! [Xavia Lockhart, female, twenty two years old, 163cm in height, weighs 90 pounds. Was sent to the countryside to be raised by others there because she was born with an unlucky fate. She had always been mischievous and had a stubborn personality ever since she was young. She ganged up with her male classmate to gain money through deception at the age of fifteen. In her senior year of high school, she got expelled after getting pregnant. No one knows the identity of the father of her child. After that, she did not dare to continue facing others and she stayed home after dropping out of school. Even her grandmother who raised her was so angry that she was hospitalized with cerebral palsy. Her grandmother’s hospitalization fees had always been funded by her elder sister. Now, she is also having impure relationships with several men and she does not have any self-respect at all…] “Oh my god. Even though they have the exact similar appearance, their characters and personalities are completely different. Young master, fortunately the person that you are going to marry is Miss Jenna. Otherwise…” Nathan let out a heartfelt sigh. After Zivon scanned through the information, the darkened expression on his originally handsome face began to worsen to the point where he looked as cold as frost. So, this woman was really so shameless and unscrupulous? But what did this have to do with him anyway? Why was he feeling so frustrated? He parted his lips coldly. “There is no need to discuss something that is impossible. Let’s go.”“Yes, young master.” The two men disappeared into the hall. Jenna, who witnessed this entire scene from a dark corner, had a smug look on her face as the corners of her lips curled into a smile. She had already known in advance that Zivon would be coming here tonight and she deliberately asked Cara to set the location here. As for the information, she had already expected something like this to happen, hence she had already put the fake information up as long as four years ago. Now, Zivon would never take another look at Xavia again due to his personality of disliking unscrupulous women. She smiled lightly as she looked in Xavia’s direction. ‘My dear younger sister, you should cherish it tonight…’
Chapter 8 Chapter 8
Xavia did not see Zivon or Jenna. She felt extremely distressed on the inside as she was getting dragged by Luke. When she was born, the fortune teller said that she would bring bad luck to her parents and her entire family. This was the reason why her own biological parents abandoned her. Her adoptive parents only adopted her for money and Xavia had never experienced the warmth of a family before. Now, she got set up like this! What kind of person was Luke? She heard that several of his wives were tortured to death by him! If she were to get married to him, Xavia was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to survive, let alone lead a happy life! Moreover, he also had a weird fetish! Xavia was afraid that Yulia would fall into his hands! No, she had to protect herself and Yulia! She struggled desperately. “You fatty! Let me go!” Luke had already desired for Xavia for a long time. So, how could he possibly let her go when she was already right in front of him at this moment? He gripped her roughly and said, “You dare to scold me? You are already the mother of a child so why are you acting so reserved? You are actually a minx, aren’t you? Otherwise, why would you have had a baby at the age of nineteen? But I’m not that old-fashioned. I’ll not hold it against you as long as you are willing to stay home obediently after you marry me.”“Let’s go. I’ll take you upstairs.” He wanted to carry her upstairs as he spoke. Xavia knew that everything would be over if she followed him upstairs. At the moment when he grabbed her forcefully, she pinched her own leg fiercely until a purple bruise blossomed. It was so painful that Xavia finally regained a trace of her sanity and strength. She lifted her leg and used all of her strength to kick upwards. “Ahh!” A scream akin to a pig getting slaughtered ripped out. Luke’s face was completely distorted. Xavia took advantage of this opportunity to push him away. “Luke Wilson, it’s none of your business that I gave birth when I was nineteen. The three top virtues of submissive women now are never being gentle, never being reasonable and never showing any mercy! You better not let me see you again!” After cursing at him, Xavia dragged herself out and ran away in a hurry. Luke would never have expected that Xavia would still have the strength to kick him. He was so angry that he popped a vein. His teeth gritted, he cursed, “You little bitch! You better come back now! I won’t let you go!”“I’m going to make you beg for mercy!” He then chased after Xavia. Xavia was so afraid that Luke would catch up to her that she completely disregarded the consequences. She staggered out of the clubhouse and rushed into the open road without paying attention to her surroundings. “Beep! Beep! Beep!” A car horn sounded rapidly. Xavia turned her head and saw a red limited-edition Ferrari driving toward her at a decent speed. However, there was no chance for her to react. Boom! Bam! Xavia was knocked down to the ground. A wave of dizziness hit her and she lost consciousness immediately. “I’ve hit someone!” In the car, the handsome Zayne with a cigarette in his mouth cursed under his breath. After that, he quickly turned around to look at the precious child in the back seat and asked, “Maison, did you get injured? Uncle did not mean to do that.” This was the first time that he was picking Maison up on the young master’s behalf. He originally wanted to show off his car skills but who would have known that he would have ended up getting into big trouble instead… Maison was only three years old, yet he looked quite cool in his black suit. He rolled his eyes at Zayne. The expression in his eyes was clearly saying, “Would I still be sitting here properly if I was injured? Your driving skills are really bad. If I knew any better, I would have rather walked instead of riding with you.” Zayne: “…” Damn it. The glorious image that he had worked so hard to create was already ruined. “It’s an accident. It’s just an accident. Stay in the car obediently and uncle will go and take a look at the situation.” He opened the door and got out of the car after he was done speaking. There were several onlookers standing on the road. The woman lay on the ground, looking ragged. Zayne hurriedly walked over to inquire about the situation. However, the sight of the familiar woman, whose mask had fallen off, stunned him. Oh my god. Jen…Jenna! Why was she the one...?!
Chapter 9 Chapter 9
Zayne would not have expected that he would hit someone, let alone Jenna! He was extremely shocked. It took him three full seconds before he finally came back to his senses and hurriedly ran over. “Sister-in-law?”“Sister-in-law, are you okay?” What he got in response was utter silence. She had obviously fainted. Zayne was extremely anxious and worried. He took out his cellphone and dialed Zivon’s number. “Young master, I’ve accidentally hit sister-in-law!”“How did this happen?” The man’s tone rose slightly. His voice sounded naturally pleasing to the ears. Jenna had just sent him a message saying that she was downstairs. So, how could she have gotten into a car accident? Zayne looked down at Jenna’s pale face and explained, “I just picked Maison up at the airport. I made a turn too quickly, then sister-in-law suddenly rushed out. I already bumped into her before I could step on the brakes…I also did not expect this to happen…” Zivon originally had his doubts but when he heard about his child, he frowned immediately. “What is her condition now? Is Maison injured?” Maison was Zivon’s son and Zivon doted on him and loved him dearly because of some special reasons. He would often bring Maison along with him even when he went on busines trips. Zayne naturally knew the importance of this precious child. He quickly shook his head. “No, Maison is unharmed. He is currently playing inside the car. Don’t worry, young master. I’ll take sister-in-law back to the medical room for a checkup, and I’ll also give Maison a physical examination too. You should come back as soon as possible.” He was a doctor, and Zivon’s villa housed the most advanced infirmary. It would be several times faster and more convenient compared to making a trip to the hospital. Zivon parted his lips and said coldly, “Okay.” After that, he got up in a conceited manner and left with big strides. Not long after the man left, Jenna then stepped into the private room in her delicate high heels. She had deliberately come to see Xavia’s downfall tonight. However, she was afraid that it might lead to suspicions in the future, so she deliberately sent Zivon a text message to meet him here to create a reason for her presence here. She also wanted to take advantage tonight to get closer to Zivon. At this moment, she frowned when she spotted no one inside the private room. Could it be that he had already gone out because she was not there? She turned around and walked out, already prepared to look for him. As a result… “Xavia Lockhart, so you’re here!” A big, meaty hand grabbed hold of her. Luke had already searched the entire ground floor but he could not find her. He initially thought that he would not be able to find her. He was already prepared to call for a prostitute when he came upstairs, not expecting to run into Xavia here. Although she had already changed her clothes, she looked even more beautiful now. His face was excited and malicious at the same time. Wrapping her in a tight hug, he crowed, “Don’t even think of running away anymore! You won’t be able to escape tonight!” Jenna was stunned upon seeing the man and getting hugged by him. Wasn’t this man supposed to be having intercourse with Xavia now? Why was he here?! And who was she? She was the precious daughter of the Lockhart family in Darlsbury. She was the fiancée of the most noble man, Zivon Burton! Was she someone that this kind of short, ugly and poor person could touch? Inwardly disgusted, she raised her hand and slapped Luke before commanding, “Let go of me! I’m not Xavia Lockhart! Let go!” Luke had been kicked previously, and the slap had caught him off guard as well. The anger in his heart flared as he cursed angrily, “You little bitch. You really don’t seem to understand the complexity of things. Let’s see how I’m going to make you beg for mercy!”“Ahh! It hurts!” Jenna felt a sharp pain on her scalp as Luke grabbed hold of her hair and dragged her into the room. Jenna had never been treated so roughly before in her life, so she felt very scared and wronged at this time. She tried to struggle desperately but no matter how hard she tried, she was no match to the man’s rough and brute force. “Sob, sob~~ Let me go. Help! Help!” Boom! Luke completely disregarded her yelling and crying and slammed her down heavily on the sofa.
Chapter 10 Chapter 10
Villa. Zivon’s noble figure stepped directly into the infirmary on the third floor. “How is her condition now?” It wasn’t because he cared about Jenna. It was just that Jenna was his future wife and the mother of his child. So, he naturally had to show an attitude of responsibility toward her.. Upon noticing Zivon’s return, Zayne hurriedly replied, “There’s no big problem. Maison is safe and sound and sister-in-law’s knee is slightly bruised. The reason why she fainted is mainly due to physical exhaustion. But young master, I seem to recall that sister-in-law used to be in good health before this. However, all of her health indicators during the examination this time seems to have been significantly reduced. She has a very poor physique. Do you usually mistreat sister-in-law?” Zivon was very conceited and he did not respond to Zayne’s series of questions because… The woman lying on the hospital bed was very petite and she looked extremely pale. She looked just like a rag doll that was extremely thin and frail under the light and this caused other people to feel distressed. But she was not Jenna. She was Xavia! This woman was next to that old man’s side before this. So, how did she appear in his house as Jenna in the blink of an eye? What was she up to? “Don’t worry about her. Ask her to leave when she wakes up.”“Hey, I can’t do that!” Zayne grabbed hold of Zivon who was about to leave as he said in disbelief, “Did you quarrel with sister-in-law? Even if you did, she is now weak and injured. It is exactly at a time like this that she needs someone to take care of her. As a man and her fiancé, you have to take care of her. I don’t care. You should stay here while I go and prepare the medicine for her.” Zayne ran away in a hurry as soon as he was done speaking without waiting for Zivon’s refusal. It was imperative for him to bring his young master and his sister-in-law together at all times! Zivon stood on the spot. His exquisite and handsome face was almost as cold as ice. When he looked at Xavia’s face, the scene of Xavia being in the old man’s arms, as well as all the information about her naturally appeared in his mind. He took a step forward and picked up the glass of water on the table. Splash! He poured the glass of water on her face. Xavia instantly woke up and sobered up because of the bone chilling cold. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the noble and cold man standing by the bed. He was dressed in a black suit. Even his necktie and watch were black as well. When she looked up at him from below, he possessed the charisma of a king that was above all commoners and it made people tremble in fear. She sat up in shock. “Zivon Burton!!!”“Why are you here?”“Where is this place?!” Her reaction was too shocking. Zivon stared at her coldly. It seemed as though he felt disdained to even speak one more word to someone who didn’t know how to love themselves. “Get lost.” Cold and ruthless, and it seemed as though he did not want to talk to her. Xavia shivered. She did not understand where his anger was coming from and she felt even more confused at this time. She remembered that she had rushed out of the clubhouse in a hurry in order to avoid Luke. It seemed as though she got hit by a car. After that, Xavia could not remember what happened next. Why did he look as though she owed him a lot of money? He wanted her to get lost? She could not be bothered to stay longer with a blind man like him! Pfft! Xavia got up and lifted the quilt as she prepared to leave. But as soon as her foot had just touched the ground, she felt a sharp pain coming from her knee! “Ahh!” Her body went limp and she fell uncontrollably into the man’s arms. Her basic survival instinct made her raise her hands and hugged the man’s tall body… It was too sudden and the woman’s body was so limp and weak as she fell into his arms. Her long and slender arms were wrapped around him, and his broad and magnificent body seemed to have become a form of support for her. For a man and a woman to be in this posture, it would spell misunderstandings to other people! Zivon’s back stiffened immediately. Why wasn’t he resisting against a woman like her? He did not want to admit this emotion that he should not have. So, he suppressed the throbbing in his blood as he lowered his gaze and stared at her coldly. “Do you use this kind of lowly means to seduce men?”
Chapter 11 Chapter 11
Xavia: “!!!” Who would want to seduce him?! “Unfortunately, I’m not one of those superficial men. So, don’t use those tactics of yours on me.” Xavia: “I…” Screw you, jerk! “Young master.” Zayne suddenly walked in with the medicine before Xavia could start cursing out loud. He was extremely surprised when he saw the scene of these two people. “Oh my, I came at the wrong time! You two should continue, continue!” His young master had always exercised excellent self-control and he had always kept his integrity. When he usually lost in any truth or dare games, he would always punish himself by drinking, and he had always refused to show any public display of his affection. But now, he was actually in such a close and loving position with his sister-in-law! How could he be so insensitive and ignorant on a day when the sun was actually rising from the west?! Zayne turned around to leave. It was only then that Xavia noticed their intimate posture. So, she quickly left Zivon’s embrace, feeling very ashamed as she shouted out, “It’s not like that! I nearly fell down and I fell into his arms. There is nothing between the both of us!” It was already a big deal for Zivon if he did not push her away when she fell into his arms. Zayne continued smiling as he said, “Sister-in-law, you don’t need to be shy. Young master is finally interested so you should take more initiatives and take advantage of this opportunity! Good luck!” Xavia: “…” Did this person understand the human language? Wait. Sister-in-law? “I’m not your sister-in-law!” The expression on Zayne’s face changed and he looked at the determined and slightly furious expression on Xavia’s face. He was stunned and confused for a moment and he walked over to Xavia in fright. “Sister-in-law, are you okay? Do you remember running out onto the road and getting hit by a car? Well, there is no serious collision at all since I just bumped into you. You fainted from the shock. After that, I called the young master when I saw that it was you. Did you get amnesia from the collision?”“Oh my god! What should I do if you really lost your memory?!” Xavia: “…” She finally understood now. This man hit her and identified her as her elder sister! So, the reason why Zivon would say those words to her was because he had mistakenly thought that she had deliberately appeared in front of him. She shouldn’t have to take the blame for this misunderstanding! Xavia turned around to look at Zivon. “It was your brother who hit me and brought me back here. I really didn’t expect that your brother would also be as blind as you are!” This implied that she could not possibly have seduced him at all! The expression on Zivon’s face suddenly turned cold. This woman was obviously scolding him indirectly. She said that he was blind and she was also saying that his friend was blind and that they were both cut from the same cloth. He sneered, “Would he have hit you if you were not setting up an ‘accident’? Do you want to take a look at the car surveillance camera?” Xavia was speechless. At that time, she rushed out in a moment of anxiety because Luke was chasing her. She was indeed responsible but who was he saying was setting up an ‘accident’? “I was careless, but if I was setting up an ‘accident’, then I would have asked you for compensation. But forget it. I won’t hold it against the both of you because of your blindness. This is the money for the registration fee. I would advise you to go and register for a checkup with an ophthalmologist! Goodbye. I hope that I’ll never see you again!” After she was done speaking, Xavia grabbed her bag from the side cabinet. After that, she took out ten dollars and slammed it down on the table before she limped and hopped away. Zivon: “…” Zayne: “…” This woman was too brash! All the plutocrats in the world had to be polite and courteous when speaking to the young master but she actually dared to raise her voice at him. Did she know what the young master’s status was? Xavia did not care what his status was and she only felt hatred for him! Back then, she could have actually turned out to be a good and successful person after passing the entrance examination and getting into a good university. She could have been in a sweet and loving relationship with Mark, and the both of them would have gotten married and have children together. She would have had an ordinary and beautiful life but unfortunately, that night turned her whole entire life upside down. Everyone scolded her for being a bitch who got pregnant before getting married. She also no longer had the right to like Mark anymore. Now, her foster mother even sold her off to that kind of old man. She never wanted to see him ever again! “Don’t go…” But at this moment, a tender and childish voice suddenly sounded. Xavia was instantly stunned when she followed the voice and looked downward.
Chapter 12 Chapter 12
The little boy who only reached her knee was dressed in a child’s version of a black suit. He had a side hair parting and a very cute and delicate face. He had skin that was as fair as a doll and he was extremely handsome. Maison Burton! Her son! Over the years, Xavia would often miss her son whom she had abandoned. She could only read the little news that she could obtain about him through the news or the newspaper. Now that he was standing right in front of her, she felt as though she was dreaming! Was this a blessing in disguise? At the same time, both Zivon and Zayne were also shocked. Ever since Maison was born, no one had ever heard him say a word. Everyone thought that he had congenital loss of voice and that he could not speak. However, this news was deliberately kept under the wraps because of his status. He was actually speaking now! He was not a mute! Zivon’s dark eyes were moving with an unusual surge of excitement. Zayne was also filled with excitement as he ran over to him. “Maison, hurry up and come to the treatment room with uncle for an examination!” Maison shook his head in resistance and held onto Xavia with his small hands. He raised his head, black eyes filled with eagerness as he stared at her. Xavia was completely caught off guard because of her own son. Her heart was filled with excitement as she squatted down and held his face in her hands, carefully studying every contour of her son’s face. This was her son. He was her own flesh and blood. When she left back then, he was still the size of a kitten and he had already grown so big now. Tears began welling in her eyes and she could not hide the joy in her voice as she said, “Maison, you are so cute. You’re really very adorable. Do you like me?” Maison nodded his head without any hesitation. The expression on Zivon’s face turned cold after getting ignored. This brat. Who was his biological father? He did not want his son to get involved with Xavia who had a bad character. So, he parted his lips and said, “She is not your mother, so it is impossible for her to stay. Come here.” Maison stood still without moving. Zivon spoke up again, “Come here. Don’t make me repeat myself for the third time.” The second time was already the father’s indulgence towards his son. His voice carried a command. The expression on Maison’s face fell as he walked over to Zivon gloomily. Just as Zivon thought that Maison was going to be obedient, Maison suddenly hugged his leg and bit down on him. “Mmm…” A muffled hum sounded from the corner of his lips. “Young master!”“Maison!” Both Zayne and Xavia’s faces turned pale and they stepped forward immediately to help. But Maison wrapped his small body tightly around Zivon’s leg on the ground as he continued biting him even deeper and deeper until there was blood overflowing from the corner of his lips. It was as if he had lost his mind! It was very difficult to control this scene. Zivon knitted his brows tightly and the aura around him was extremely bleak! His son had been ill ever since he was young. Whenever he encountered any unhappy things, he would always fall into a state of rage and rampage. No one could coax him at all and he would even abuse himself when things got serious. The doctor once said that Zivon should try to keep Maison happy. Therefore, as long as Maison’s request was not too excessive, Zivon had always tried his best to comply with what he wanted. It had already been six months since his last attack. Unexpectedly, it would actually be because of Xavia now… “Young master, hurry up and promise him!” Zayne, who knew of the consequences, spoke up anxiously. Zivon frowned before he glanced at Xavia. After that, he looked at his son, who seemed to have fallen into a state of insanity, before he finally parted his lips and said coldly, “I agree to let her stay.” Maison finally loosened up following these words. However, he still didn’t let go of Zivon. Zivon looked at Xavia with a sharp look in his eyes before he commanded, “Tell him that you’ll stay.” Ahh? What the hell? Zayne anxiously explained to Xavia, “Maison grew up with autism ever since he was young and he will throw a fit whenever he gets stimulated. He is currently in the treatment stage. So, if we don’t calm him down soon, then the previous treatment will be just one step short of success and his condition will get even more serious.” Wait, what?! Maison actually had autism? Xavia couldn’t believe her ears. However, since Maison’s current state of mind seemed to be too abnormal at this point, she did not dare to cause any delay. “Maison, be a good boy. Don’t bite anymore. Aunt is willing to stay.” Maison finally let go of Zivon when he heard these words. Zivon then told Xavia to wait in his usual cold tone, before he then carried Maison back to his room. Zayne also grabbed the medical kit and hurriedly followed behind Zivon. Xavia was left alone in place and she really could not accept the fact that her son was actually autistic. Was God playing a joke on her?
Chapter 13 Chapter 13
Zivon came down from upstairs an hour later. His suit was slightly disheveled and it was obviously from taking care of Maison. However, it did not affect his handsome and reserved appearance. He parted his lips coldly, “Come over here every day from now on and take care of Maison.” Xavia knew that they would have to comply with what a child with autism wanted. And as a mother, she had never fulfilled her duty and responsibilities as his mother. So, she naturally could not back down now. She agreed without any hesitation. “Okay. I will cooperate with you.” Just like that? She was not going to ask for a salary or compensation? It seemed as though her intention was really not pure. Zivon’s face dropped, but he had no other choice because it seemed like Maison needed her now. He said, “Don’t promise me so easily. I have conditions.”“First of all, the reason why I’m keeping you is entirely because of Maison’s condition. You have to always understand your own status and identity. Explain everything clearly so that we can avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings.” He was referring to the misunderstanding last night and today. But that was obviously their own blindness. They did not give her the opportunity to explain herself. So, why was he blaming her for it? “Secondly, you have to leave as soon as Maison’s condition improves. If you dare to to have any bad thoughts toward Maison or if you dare to manipulate him, then I’ll make sure that you regret being a human in a minute!” Xavia: !!! Did he think that she had some other impure intention and wanted to hit on him? She was the one who wanted to teach Zivon how to act like a human in a minute, all right? He was narcissistic, self-righteous and as arrogant as a peacock! “The third point is also the most important point.” Zivon stood up and his height of nearly 1.9 metres made him look more domineering. He walked towards Xavia step by step and when stopped at the place where he was just one step away from her, and then he handed a black card over to her in arrogantly. “As a personal assistant taking care of Maison, I don’t want you to be randomly hooking up with men again. Your improper conduct and bad character will also affect and influence Maison. You can just spend the money inside the card if you have any needs in future.” His cold voice carried a hint of command with it. The black card symbolized the supreme and honorable status. Xavia: !!! Which eye of his saw her misbehaving and hooking up with men? Only men like him would have countless women! But if he dared to give it to her, then she dared to accept it. She would just take the black card and use it to raise Yulia. She took the card and said, “Don’t worry, as long as you’re not blind, then there will generally be no misunderstanding. The only reason why I’m staying is because of little Maison. I absolutely do not want to hit on you!”“Even if I want to ogle, I would only ogle a gentle, considerate and handsome gentleman. I will not be interested in a thirty-year-old married man like you with facial paralysis! Even the rich and frivolous guy next to you is much more likable compared to you.” Pfft! Married man! Man with facial paralysis! This was the first time that anyone had ever used such words to describe the perfect Zivon! No, wait…What did she mean by his kind? What did she mean by the rich and frivolous guy? Frivolous?! Zayne who was in a corner, felt extremely offended! Zivon also did not expect Xavia to be so sharp tongued and eloquent. He narrowed his sharp eyes as he said in a voice that was as dangerous and sharp as a knife, “It better be as you say. Otherwise…” He did not finish his sentence but the terrible consequences that would follow were to be foreseen. It would either be death, or a life that was worse than death. Xavia knew very well but she was not afraid at all. This was because she really didn’t want to hit on him. “I will do it.” She said these words with absolute certainty. She then turned around and left with an air of arrogance. Zayne waited for Xavia to disappear before he finally had time to ask. “Young master, who is she? Where did she come from? It seems as though she is really not sister-in-law.” The last sentence was an affirmative sentence. This was because sister-in-law had always been very gentle and filled with admiration towards Zivon. Therefore, it was impossible for her to have this kind of attitude. Zivon’s handsome face was shrouded with darkness as he parted his lips and said, “Xavia Lockhart. Jenna’s twin sister.”“Twins? They look exactly the same! They are totally indistinguishable!”“By the way, young master, Maison actually got close to her and he even opened his mouth and spoke! That is really strange!” Zivon was naturally shocked but he was not surprised. “Jenna has always been busy with work. Maison wants his mother. So, he must have mistaken Xavia for Jenna.” The tone of his voice was very cold. This was because he had concluded that Xavia was deliberately trying to use her face to approach him regardless of whether it was last night or tonight. Otherwise, how could there be so many coincidences? Zayne rubbed his chin and frowned. Was that the case? Was there really no other explanation?
Chapter 14 Chapter 14
After Zivon returned to his room, he did not want Maison to place his desire for his mother on Xavia, who had the same appearance as Jenna but actually had an ulterior motive. So, he took out his cellphone and called Jenna. “Beep~ Beep~ Sorry, the number that you have dialed is busy now. Please try again later,” The official voice of the customer service sounded. Zivon frowned. He hung up the phone because he thought that Jenna was busy. On the other end, Luke turned off the cellphone and threw it directly into the bathtub. He looked at Jenna, who was lying unconscious on the bed, and he had a very smug and satisfied look in his eyes. Tonight was simply too amazing. “Ring ring, ring ring~~” The cellphone on the table rang. This time, it was Luke’s own cellphone. He smiled as he took his cellphone and answered the call, “Cara, what is it?” Cara asked with great expectation, “Chairman Wilson, I just want to ask you how things are going? Was it successful?” Luke had told Cara before that as long as he could get Xavia, he would give Cara thirty thousand dollars. Moreover, Jenna also said that she would give her a sum of money after this matter was completed. If she were to add it up, this money would be more than enough for her to spend for half a year. This was how Cara came up with that trick to deceive Xavia and trick her into going over there. Now, she was very concerned about the final results. Luke could not stop smiling. “It’s done! It’s done! She’s next to me now! This young girl is just perfect. She is so fair and tender.”“I’ll keep her by my side starting from tonight. I won’t let her go back anymore. I’ll get the marriage certificate done in time. I will arrange for someone to send you the money in the morning tomorrow.” He wanted to be intimate with this beauty every day. When Cara heard that, she laughed without any hesitation and said, “Okay, good. I don’t have a problem with that. It’s just that she has always had a very strong personality ever since she was young. So, you have to watch and discipline her well.”“You don’t have to worry about that. No one can escape the secret room in my house.” The two people continued discussing this matter like sneaky rats in a gutter. The unconscious Jenna was now reduced to nothing more than a plaything. … Xavia had no idea that Cara was setting her up behind her back , and that a huge misunderstanding had occurred. After leaving the villa, she had no intention to go home anymore. She immediately called her best friend, Dolly. Dolly drove over in her pink car. After Xavia finished telling her the entire story, she started cursing in shock. “How dare that old witch treat you like this? Has her conscience been eaten by the dogs? No, that’s not right. Even dogs wouldn’t want to eat her dirty heart! She is inhuman!”“But Xavia, you actually met your son by mistake and you’ll get to spend more time with Young Master Burton in future. This is really a blessing in disguise! I’m so envious of you!”“Do you think that you and Young Master Burton will be in the plot of ‘Domineering Chairman Falls in Love with Me’?” Xavia rolled her eyes. “You’re already an adult, so when will you stop watching those stupid television dramas? But seriously, promise me that you will not let Yulia know about her father’s existence.” All these years, Xavia had always told Yulia that her father was dead. If Yulia were to find out that her father was still alive and that he was a handsome man such as Zivon, then as Yulia was always obsessed with good-looking guys, she would certainly forget all about her own mother when she met Zivon. That way, Yulia would certainly be abducted easily. Dolly looked at Xavia. “Why? He is Zivon Burton, the Adonis in the hearts of all women in Darlsbury and also an idol in the eyes of all men. If he finds out that you are the mother of his child and that you actually have such a lovely and adorable daughter, then he will definitely want to marry you and bring you back home with him. After that, you would have made a great leap in life and you will never have any shortage of food or clothing in the future. Wouldn’t that be great?” Xavia shook her head rapidly. “No, no! I’m not interested in that kind of blind man who can’t even tell his own wife apart!”“Now, I only hope that Maison will be able to regain his childhood innocence and that his health will improve. After that, Zivon and my elder sister can leave S City as soon as possible. That way, I will have peace in my life once again.” The tone of her voice was extremely serious. Dolly looked at Xavia and she shook her head emotionally. Other women could only dream of getting involved with someone like Zivon, but why was this silly woman so stupid?! No, it was good that she was stupid. Didn’t those overbearing and domineering chairmen generally like those stupid women? Xavia did not want to continue talking about this kind of silly topic anymore. So, she said, “Well, the reason why I asked you to come and pick me up is because I want you to help me out on a certain matter. I want you to pick Yulia up and let her stay at your house temporarily.”“You should know that no matter how bad Cara Fuller was in the past, she has always been pretty good to Yulia. I decided to continue staying at home because I thought that rent was expensive and because I needed someone to help me look after Yulia. But now, she wants to marry me off to Luke Wilson even though she knows that he has a pedophilic fetish. So, I cannot guarantee Yulia’s safety there anymore. I’m really afraid that she might sell Yulia off too if I don’t pay attention one day because I’m busy dealing with Maison.” Dolly nodded. “That old witch is so evil that she’ll certainly do something like that. Let’s go. I will go and pick her up now.”“Mm. Thank you.”“Aihh. Why are you thanking me? Just don’t forget me when you finally marry Young Master Burton,” Dolly laughed as she continued teasing Xavia. Xavia was completely speechless. She had really never thought about having a relationship with Zivon. So, why couldn’t Dolly just forget about this?! She was giving her such a headache...
Chapter 15 Chapter 15
After picking Yulia up and moving into Dolly’s house, Xavia then applied for a leave of absence from Dolly. After this, she would have to take care of Maison wholeheartedly and try to help him to get out of the shadow of his autism as soon as possible. In the morning. Xavia went to the villa directly after dropping Yulia off at the kindergarten. It was half past seven in the morning at this time. There was the sound of the birds chipping and the fragrant scent of flowers in the villa. The atmosphere was very quiet. When she entered the villa, Zivon had already had his breakfast and was currently drinking coffee. His every move was filled with the nobility of the upper-class society. His eyes narrowed slightly when he saw Xavia. They did not set a time last night, and yet she came here so early? She was really enthusiastic. He parted his lips coldly, “There is a list of Maison’s preferences and taboos on the table. Read them carefully and make sure that you do not make any mistakes.”“Oh, okay.” Xavia nodded immediately before she picked up the notebook. She saw a list of Maison’s likes and dislikes listed on it, one by one. There were a total of ten items written very clearly. She said, “No problem, I’ll remember all of them and I’ll take good care of Maison.” Zivon put down his coffee mug and he stood up conceitedly. “You can contact Nathan Miller if you need anything.” After saying those cold words, Zivon then left in a hurry in a dignified hurry. He should be going to work. Xavia heaved a sigh of relief. She would feel even more uncomfortable if he was going to be at home. When the car had disappeared completely, Xavia then stepped upstairs and headed into Maison’s bedroom. “Maison, aunt is here.” Maison sat up on his bed. His eyes lit up immediately after he saw Xavia. He lifted his quilt and sat up as he gestured for her to help and dress him up. Xavia: “…” He was really a little slacker. Xavia walked over and her small face froze out of shock after she opened the closet. This was because——there were only all black shirts, black trousers and black suits inside his entire closet. Even his socks at the bottom compartment were also all black! Oh my god! Was this what children should be wearing? “Maison, don’t you have any other clothes?” Maison shook his head. Xavia: “…” Her daughter had grown up wearing a variety of clothes of different styles and in different colors. It was also the same for children from other families. But he actually only had black clothes? It was no wonder why he had such a depressing personality! “You can wear this first. Aunt will bring you to buy new clothes when the time comes.” Maison nodded. After that, he changed his clothes and he followed Xavia downstairs after he was done washing up. After having breakfast, they went into the study so he could read a book. Maison did not say a single word from the beginning to the end. How could he possibly get better if this went on? Xavia then thought of something. She leaned down and said to Maison who was sitting at the desk, “Maison, let’s play a game! You can’t say no and you will get a reward when you answer correctly.”“If you are a poor person, which option will you choose? A fishing rod or a basket of fish?” Maison probably didn’t expect a game coming up. So, he pursed his lips before finally saying, “A basket of fish.” Xavia was very happy. It was really rare that he was willing to talk. Unfortunately… “You got it wrong! Instead of accepting a basket of fish, wouldn’t it be better to learn how to fish? You will have nothing left after you finish eating your basket of fish, but if you have a fishing rod, you can continue catching a lot more fish.” Maison frowned slightly and said coolly, “But if I were to sell the basket of fish, I can buy many fishing rods. After that, I can rent the fishing rods to others and collect rental fees from them. After that, I will continue buying new fishing rods after collecting the fees, and I can use these rods to fish or rent them again. I will repeat it over and over again. Isn’t it better for me to be making money every day?” Pfft! He could actually do that? Did he inherit his business mind from Zivon genetically? Xavia was really filled with admiration for Maison and she was utterly convinced. However, she couldn’t put her finger on something. “Maison, you can speak fluently and perfectly, so why don’t you usually speak then?”
Chapter 16 Chapter 16
Maison turned his head away coldly and said, “I don’t feel like talking.”“...” This was a really petulant reason. “Can you promise Aunt that you will speak more in future then? That is because your voice really sounds super nice and beautiful. It would simply be too wasteful if you don’t speak! If a deity hears you making a wish with your voice, it will definitely fulfill your wish!” Maison glanced at her. “Childish.” Okay. It wasn’t easy to fool three-year-olds nowadays. Xavia continued thinking of ways to play games with Maison so that she could guide him to talk more. The whole day passed by quickly and in a blink of an eye, it was already half past five in the evening. It was time for Xavia to go and pick Yulia up. Xavia looked at the time. Zivon hadn’t returned yet. She couldn’t possibly leave Maison alone, could she? She called Nathan. “Mr. Miller, can I know when the young master will return? I have to go home now because I need to do something.” When Maison heard this while playing with sand, the expression on his face instantly fell. He closed himself up once again, not saying a single word. Using his small hands, he grabbed handfuls of sand and sprinkled it randomly all over the place. Xavia was taken aback. She immediately put her cell phone aside and said, “Huh? Maison, what’s the matter with you? Don’t sprinkle sand everywhere, otherwise, you might get it into your eyes and it’ll hurt a lot.” Maison refused to listen to her. “You want to leave, so I’ll sprinkle it, I’ll just sprinkle it.” Cough. So it turned out that this was the reason. Xavia comforted him patiently, “Aunt has to get something done at home so I have to go back tonight. I will come and accompany you again tomorrow, I swear. Be a good boy.”“No. I don’t want that.” Maison continued desperately sprinkling the sand everywhere. The sand scattered all over his head and got into his clothes. It was basically all over him. He was also on the verge of collapsing emotionally. Xavia knew that children should not be allowed to get away with it when they threw tantrums. However, Maison’s situation was a little special. If Xavia allowed this to go on, she was afraid that he would fall into a rampage. Xavia could only helplessly say, “Okay, okay. Aunt is not leaving anymore. I’ll stay and accompany you tonight. You should calm down.” It was only then that Maison stopped his actions and threw himself into her arms. He continued to clutch firmly onto her body as if he was a koala bear. It seemed as though he was afraid that she would lie to him. Xavia felt as though he was tugging at her heartstrings. She would never have thought that her son, whom she has not seen for three years, would actually be so dependent and clingy toward her. Her emotions became unusually gentle and she carried his small body up. She could only call Dolly and ask her to pick Yulia up in her stead. On the other end, the contents of the call drifted inside the sedan and it was very clear and distinct. Nathan said, “She knew that the little master would be reluctant to let her leave, so she deliberately called me in front of the little master in order to use Maison as an excuse to stay. She is a very cunning person.” There was an inexplicably deep and secretive look on Zivon’s handsome face. The aura surrounding him was cold and eerie. He didn’t say anything. He simply instructed Nathan to continue driving as he dialed Jenna’s phone again. In his opinion, Jenna was gentle and decent. Moreover, she was also his child’s biological mother. If Jenna were to spend more time getting along with Maison, then Maison definitely wouldn’t want to get close to Xavia. As a result, the call could not be connected. Was she really that busy at work? Zivon had a cold expression on his face as he switched off his cell phone. He arrived at the villa half an hour later. Xavia had just finished taking care of Maison. She bathed him, fed him dinner and was currently cleaning up the dishes. When she saw Zivon, she greeted him, “Maison is upstairs and the day went smoothly.” Zivon took off his suit jacket and threw it aside. He was very cold and aloof, not paying any attention to her at all. Pfft. Did he think that she would want to talk to him if it weren’t for Maison? Unfortunately, she had no choice but to put her dignity aside because she had something to ask for permission. Xavia then spoke up again. “Well, there are two things that I want to tell you. I’m thinking of taking Maison out to the mall to buy some clothes tomorrow. He’s still very young, so he should be trying on various styles of children’s clothing in indifferent colors. Besides, black clothes are not good for his condition.”“And I might have to stay here tonight because Maison threw a tantrum and lost his temper when I said I wanted to leave just now. I’m afraid that he will act like he did last night, so I agreed to stay.” Xavia explained everything carefully out of fear that Zivon would think that she had any ulterior motives. In reality, Zivon had already misunderstood her from the start. His cold and sharp eyes fell on her as he said coldly, “Xavia Lockhart, you should always remember the conditions that you agreed to last night. Don’t play any tricks in front of me.”
Chapter 17 Chapter 17
Xavia was very confused. What kind of tricks did she play? Could he stop talking to her with that attitude every time? She was so angry. Zivon ignored her. He just walked around her in a cold manner as he sat down on the seat beside her. He had worked all day and he already had to make do with his lunch. Maison’s leftovers remained on the dining table. It wasn’t a fancy meal from a luxurious hotel, but it was very appetizing because of the faint aroma coming from the dishes. He looked at Xavia and said in a commanding tone, “My food.” Xavia knitted her brows tightly together. She then understood what he meant and laughed before saying, “Sorry, Mr. Burton. I’m here to take care of Maison, not to be your chef. I’ve only prepared food for Maison.” What she meant was, there was none for him. Pfft. Didn’t he look down on her? She definitely didn’t want to prepare anything for him! Zivon was speechless. How dare this woman treat him like this. Good. She was quite courageous. “In that case, you can go and clean up the entire villa now. Otherwise, you’re not allowed to eat or rest.” What?! The entire villa was five hundred square metres wide and there were a total of three floors. He wanted her to clean the villa on her own? She’d die from the workload! Xavia was about to speak up to oppose him. Zivon raised his brows. “Why? Didn’t you say that you are going to take care of Maison? Maison lives here, which means the hygiene must be up to standard. So shouldn’t you clean up then? Do you have any opinions about this?” His raised voice carried a hint of invisible and oppressive pressure in it. Xavia couldn’t say anything. That was the textbook definition of digging her own grave. She wore a deep pout as she picked up the cleaning tools angrily to begin the chore. Zivon’s lips twitched when he looked at Xavia’s busy silhouette. She would have to suffer the consequences for challenging his authority. Zivon then got up and walked into the kitchen. He opened the refrigerator, took out some frozen croissants and started cooking them. He had a specialized servant cooking for him back in Darlsbury. However, he didn’t have time to hire someone to cook for him ever since he came here. He was bad at cooking, so he would always either order takeout or eat frozen meals. Now that Maison had already eaten, he would naturally make do with whatever was available. After the meal, Zivon went into his study room to deal with some work-related matters. Then he popped into Maison’s room to send him to bed. Naturally, Zivon didn’t let Maison know that he had punished Xavia. Maison laid in Zivon’s arms and said in a soft voice, “I like her. You won’t ask her to leave, right?” Zivon narrowed his eyes slightly. He laid a broad hand on his son’s back as he asked casually, “Why do you like her?” Maison said, “Because she has a maternal aura around her.” Zivon didn’t reply. Maison definitely directed his emotions at the wrong person. The breeze at night was very cold. However, Xavia didn’t feel chilly. In fact, she was even sweating. This was the first time that she was experiencing what was called ‘rich people’s happiness’. There was a large open-air swimming pool and fitness room on the third floor, a study room and a home cinema on the second floor, a living room, reception room, kitchen, laundry room and also an outdoor garden on the first floor… It took Xavia nine full hours to clean the whole place up. She was only done with her work when it was four o’clock in the morning. What a detestable capitalist! Xavia cursed inwardly as she went upstairs. When she passed by Maison’s room, she walked over and gently pushed the door open. The door opened with a creak. Zivon, who had always been a light sleeper and an extremely vigilant person, woke up instantly. After discerning that it was the sound of a woman’s footsteps, his thin lips curled up coldly in the darkness. She said that she had no other intentions but during the day, she used Maison as an excuse so that she could stay at his villa. Now she was already so impatient and eager to climb into his bed. Climb into his bed? If Xavia knew what was going on in his mind, she would have smacked his head on the spot. Who the heck wanted to climb into his bed?! Xavia simply came in to see if Maison had kicked his quilt off, but what the heck was this man doing on the big bed? He had an indifferent look on his face as he laid there. His eyes were long and slender, and he still had an inherent look of dignity even when he was fast asleep. He was actually sleeping with Maison? It was unexpected that he took responsibility for his son. Xavia was afraid that he would wake Maison up. So, she approached the bed with gentle and light footsteps. She then covered the quilt for Maison before checking the mosquito repellent. After confirming that there was no problem, Xavia then exited the room quietly before closing the door. She originally wanted to take advantage of the night to give her son a kiss, but she restrained herself because the man was there. After the door was closed, Zivon’s eyes opened, showing a hint of astonishment. He had deliberately pretended to be asleep just now because he wanted to see what kind of tricks Xavia was up to. However, it turned out that she had only swung by to take care of Maison. She did not even look at him at all. Why did it feel like she was somehow different compared to what he had imagined her to be? What kind of woman was she, exactly?
Chapter 18 Chapter 18
As he was deep in his thoughts, he could hear the door across the hallway lock with a click. Zivon felt chilly. Damn that woman! Did she think that he would do something to her? She was thinking too much! It was a peaceful and quiet night. In the morning. “Daddy.” Zivon was still asleep when Maison’s beautiful voice sounded. He rarely heard Maison calling him. So Zivon opened his eyes, put on a gentle look for his son and asked, “What’s wrong, hmm?” Maison reached out his hand and dragged Zivon downstairs. His pace was slightly fast and he had a joyful look on his face. It was still so early in the morning. What was going on? Maison dragged a puzzled Zivon all the way to the garden. They were met with an incredible scene. All the exotic plants in the garden had been trimmed beautifully. There were round and chubby pandas, cute rabbits, leaping goats, beautiful fairies…Every one of them were all three-dimensional. They were very realistic, vivid, exquisite and full of charm. Not only that, but the layout was also very elaborate. It seemed as though it was a wonderful world of animals and a forest garden. It was very beautiful. Maison’s heart was overflowing with childlike happiness. He walked toward the goat and smiled happily like he never did before. “I like this. I like everything. Daddy, is this a surprise from you?” His voice was very innocent and he had a very sweet smile. Zivon had never seen his son’s childlike innocence like this before, and he had never heard him saying so many words before. So he didn’t know how to answer his son for a while. Instead, he could only say, “You can go and play first.” After the little boy did so, Zivon looked at Nathan, who was behind him, and asked, “Did you get someone to trim the garden?” Nathan shook his head. “No. I was also very surprised when I got up in the morning. If I knew that the little master likes this kind of thing, I would have already gone and learned the art of hedge-trimming a long time ago in order to make the little master smile.” No? Who could it be then? Just as Zivon was feeling very curious, Nathan continued, “I found out that Xavia Lockhart was the one who trimmed them after checking the surveillance camera.” Xavia Lockhart? Zivon raised his dashing brows, looking very surprised. After that, he recalled asking her to clean the entire villa last night. He was deliberately trying to make things difficult for her, and he originally thought that she would cry. However, he really did not expect her to give the garden such a beautiful makeover. She was just a young lady, and yet she possessed such skill in craftsmanship? Zivon suddenly saw Xavia in a new light. Nathan sighed. If only Xavia was Jenna and didn’t have such bad conduct. How good would it be then? … Eleven o’clock around noon. Xavia woke up and fell out of bed in shock. Eleven o’clock! She actually slept till eleven o’clock! Ahh! This was really embarrassing! Xavia quickly washed up and went downstairs. Unexpectedly, she saw Zivon sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room. He was flipping through his books. He didn’t go to work at all. Damn it. She really embarrassed herself greatly this time! Xavia felt very ashamed and embarrassed. She didn’t know whether she should greet him and say good morning or good afternoon. When Xavia saw Maison, she quickly walked over to him and held him as she said, “Maison, I did tell you I will bring you out to buy new clothes today. Let’s go.” Maison hummed slightly and nodded. “Daddy, let’s go.”“W-What?” Why was Maison calling Zivon? Xavia was surprised. Maison said, “I’m buying clothes for the first time in my life, so Daddy cannot be absent. Do you not want him to come with us?” Um. “No, no.” It was more than not wanting him to come along; she really didn’t want him to come at all! Xavia smiled awkwardly as she led Maison out and got into the car. She sat as close to the side as possible so that the car seat would be blocking her view and she wouldn’t need to look at him. Zivon obviously took note of her small actions and had a very cold look in his eyes. Shouldn’t this woman try to get closer to him? If so, why did she look like she was resisting him? Was she playing hard to get? This was the first time that Zivon felt as though he could not see through a person.
Chapter 19 Chapter 19
Xavia had no idea what Zivon was thinking. She opened the car door and led Maison out of the car as soon as they arrived at the mall. This was a shopping mall with several floors. Everything that one would have expected to find could be found here. It was bustling and noisy. Maison was very excited as he had never been to places like this before. Xavia took him with her as she chose many different styles and felt the fabric of the clothes. She worked seriously and meticulously. The group of three attracted the attention of many people, especially Zivon. Due to his inherent noble aura and temperament, countless women admired him very much. Zivon did not like such places, so he ordered in a low voice, “Pay attention to your working efficiency.” Xavia looked at him and shook her head. “Sorry, Mr. Burton, I can’t work any faster.”“Children’s skin is delicate. So, I have to choose pure cotton fabric and also avoid safety hazards at the same time. For instance, this kind of clothes with ropes will get tangled around the neck easily so it is not suitable for children. Therefore, I’ll have to choose carefully. If you’re unable to wait, you can go ahead with your schedule, okay? I’ll take good care of Maison.” Damn it. Was she ordering him around or was she hoping that he would leave? Zivon had a cold expression on his face and just ignored her. Xavia just shrugged and continued picking out clothes for Maison. It took her a whole afternoon before she finally picked out thirty pairs of clothes that she was satisfied with. Just as she was planning to leave with Maison, a woman wearing heavy makeup suddenly bumped into them. Maison was completely caught off guard. He bumped into the railing due to the excessive force. Bang! The glass railing instantly broke and Maison’s body fell outward uncontrollably. “Oh! Ahh!”“Oh my god!” This was the second floor and it was exactly six meters high. Maison would lose his life if he were to fall from this height! The people around them were all shocked and terrified when they saw the accident. They were all screaming out of horror. Zivon, who was making the payment at that time, turned around when he heard the chaos, immediately seeing Maison’s body flying out. The expression on his face instantly changed. “Maison!” Zivon hurriedly rushed over with wide steps. However, when he had just taken half a step, Xavia quickly reacted as she was standing close to Maison at that time. She didn’t even hesitate before jumping out and hugging Maison. Everyone witnessed the big and small figure falling to the ground rapidly. “Ahh!” The shrieks got even louder. Two seconds later, a loud bang and a crash sounded. Commotion erupted immediately upstairs and downstairs. Zivon really didn’t expect Xavia to jump out at all, so he was in a trance for a moment. After that, he finally reacted, spun on his heel and rushed downstairs. There was already a crowd surrounding the spacious hall. The both of them fell and landed on a bouncy castle. It was clearly visible that the child was on the top and the woman was on the bottom when they landed. “Luckily they landed on the bouncy castle otherwise they’d be dead.”“That mother actually jumped to protect her child despite the danger. She is really amazing.”“I wonder if they are fine?” Zivon squeezed through the crowd and quickly approached the scene. He gave Maison a quick onceover to make sure that he was fine. Satisfied, his gaze then fell onto Xavia. He saw that her face was pale and her beautiful brows were knitted tightly together. She was obviously in a lot of pain. He asked, “How are you doing?” Xavia only felt pain coming from her internal organs. However, she couldn't care less and focused on Maison, who was in her arms. “How is Maison? Is he hurt?” Damn it. She was still asking about the child at this time! Zivon felt as though something was tugging at his heartstrings at that time. His gaze darkened before he plucked Maison out of her arms and blurted out, “He’s fine. You should lie down first.” After that, Zivon took out his cell phone and called Zayne, “Come over to Galaxy Plaza as soon as possible.” Zayne was at a hospital nearby. He rushed over immediately after hearing about the situation. “Did you suffer from a fall, our precious Maison? How are you feeling now? Hurry up and let uncle give you a checkup.” This was the young master’s precious son and he was the heir of the Burton family. He mustn’t suffer from any mishaps and accidents. However... “Maison is fine. Give her a checkup.” This was the first time Zivon didn’t prioritize Maison. Instead, he asked Zayne to check on Xavia. Zayne was shocked. Since when did the young master care about other people?
